Global RallyCross Subaru WRX STI unveiled in New York

Subaru brings a little dirt-slinger to the Big Apple.

The Mitsubishi Evo may be on its way out, but its perennial
turbocharged all-wheel-drive rival is alive and well. After rolling out the new 2015 WRX STI in Detroit, Subaru has revealed a RallyCross
competition version at the New York International Auto Show.

The Japanese automaker says the car was a joint project, built by its own works motorsports team in conjunction with Red Bull. Outside, this WRX STI is
pure rally goodness—mud flaps, custom widebody kit, plenty of scoops, outrageous paint-splatter livery, and clean white 10-spoke wheels (courtesy of Method
Racing) wrapped in Yokohama competition tires. And we've got to say, that enormous tri-fin carbon spoiler appendage looks the absolute business.

Three-time European Rallycross champ Sverre Isachsen is slated to drive the new STI alongside pro skater Bucky Lasek at the GRC season opener on May 18.
Subaru's Rally America Championship drivers, Travis Pastrana and David Higgins, will get an
updated, built-to-spec 2015 car later this year.

Pastrana is also lined up to drive at the GRC's X Games Austin round June 5-8; Volkswagen's RallyCross Beetle will not be in attendance.
